ok so next problem, there is a clicking in the rear when under torque pressure and the tire keeps coming off, what is a good fix for the tire to stay on??? i shaved the hexes down a lil and torqued em down way tight and the bolts still twist off, i bored em out and that didnt work, i just messed one up... i dont want to order wheel extensions yet... i searched also the only answer was wheel extensions or boring it out. | |
